and a double click to a subdirectory appends that directory to the
path. In the input field below the path field, the name for the
desired file (without extension) is entered. Again, this can be done

be an absolute path.

.cfg for configurations, and .txt for texts is added
automatically and must not be specified. After the name is
specified the desired operation is selected by clicking either
